How to fall asleep when rebooting?

I would find a good book and read, they work great for relaxing and sleeping.

 

I have the same question! I've used P,M, and fantasy to fall asleep for over 20 years. I have bouts of depressive thoughts and anxiety at night if I don't "numb" myself, so I've used this as a coping mechanism. Hoping to see good ideas in this thread!

 

I also relate. The only i have found is chess and reading. Sometimes making plans on building a better life. However sometimes this gets my brain going.

 

Yep Turn off all technology an hour before bed to avoid blue light exposure and meditate. like to listen to meditation music and lie down and clear my mind. Some great meditation tracks on youtube. At the very least it allows your to rest your mind. Good luck

 

It’s bloody hard mate. The insomnia comes and goes I tell you. I’ve had it on and off over this attempt at recovery but beforehand had it near enough constantly for many years. It has got better though.

 

I had a habit of edging before the sleep and rarely could fall asleep without edging. I guess it helped me to relax. When I abstained from PMO I learned to 'shut my brain off'. I just close my eyes and don't think about anything for few minutes and usually fell asleep soon.

 

yep I have two which are definitely my favourite. I've linked them below





And thanks dude. Actually around a month and a half Porn free which I'm proud of but needed to test myself out for my sanity haha.

 

Getting in a solid, consistent exercise routine in might be helpful. Your brain makes feel-good chemicals when and after you exercise, plus the higher energy expenditure makes you sleepier at bed time. Regular exercise definitely helps with PMO cravings too.
Working on ANY of these factors will help you get to sleep easier:
Strength
Stamina
Flexibility
Balance
Nutrition
Hydration
Good luck with your streak! Your mind is stronger than you think it is. Just harness the willpower.
